Tavern At Rivers Edge

Any restaurant gets good marks when I can't make up my mind for dinner. The Tavern offered a wide variety of menu items that looked great. I settled on La Salmon Poche (poached salmon) with veggies in a light lemon sauce. Well done!  Others in my party enjoyed the homemade sausage and choc-coffee ribs.  Appetizers could have been dinner (esp. the bacon-wrapped scallops).  Overall a great dinner venue. Staff was engaging and helpful.  Beer options were more limited than anticipated, but drafts worked with our meal.  Atmosphere was jovial, but quiet enough for table conversations.

Pleasant atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. It was open mic night when we were there and we wished we had come a bit later. They were setting up to play live music as we were finishing our meal and getting ready to leave. Next time we will go a little later so we can here some live music!

I came here for dinner with co-workers on a Monday night. We had a little hard time finding it since its in the basement of another store front.

We asked the waitress what dish she would recommend if we were never coming back and she told us absolutely the lobster risotto.

I ordered the lobster risotto and the Caesar salad. I was blown away by the salad. I need to come back here just for this! I never had lobster risotto before, or any type of risotto for that matter so I wasn't sure what to expect. I liked it a lot, but didn't love it. It was very cheesy, I felt like it was like mac and cheese with harder noodles. It was good but I don't think I would get it again. I am glad I tried it though.

They were super attentive and we had out water glasses filled every 5 minutes. I ordered a cheese cake for dinner and that was pretty good.

I am subtracting a star for the end of the night service. It took over 45 minutes to get our checks back. Apparently there was a problem with the credit card machine and they didn't tell us until a half hour of trying. Then it took them another 15 minutes to fix it after that.

I would like to come back for the salad when I am here again.
